A unique journey through time and luxury
Nestled in the heart of Cusco’s historic center, JW Marriott El Convento Cusco offers an experience that blends centuries of heritage with modern elegance. Housed within a meticulously restored 16th-century convent, the hotel is a gateway to the city's rich cultural legacy. Two exhibition halls showcase ancient Peruvian artifacts, immersing guests in the region’s storied past from the moment they arrive.
The perfect base for exploration
Just steps from Plaza de Armas and offering easy access to the train to Machu Picchu, the hotel is ideally located for discovering Peru’s most iconic destinations. After a day of adventure, return to a beautifully renovated room or suite, where thoughtful amenities such as marble bathrooms, plush bedding, and oxygen-enrichment systems ensure rest and rejuvenation—even at high altitude.
Refined relaxation and wellness
Begin your day with renewed energy or unwind after your explorations at the spa, where treatments are inspired by traditional Incan healing practices. Whether seeking deep relaxation or a boost in vitality, the serene setting and holistic approach offer a true sense of renewal.
Peruvian flavors, reimagined
At Qespi Restaurant & Bar, one of Cusco’s most celebrated dining destinations, savor inventive dishes crafted with fresh, local ingredients. Guided by a “food from the earth” philosophy, the culinary team presents vibrant interpretations of regional classics—featuring Andean potatoes, white corn, lake trout, and more. Pair each meal with a signature cocktail or selection from the curated wine list, and enjoy the ambiance of indoor or open-air patio dining.
Rooms with history and harmony
Each guest room is a blend of contemporary comfort and historic charm, with polished wood accents and Peruvian textiles that honor local traditions.
